Neurocognitive and psychological functioning of pediatric brain tumor patients undergoing proton beam therapy for three different tumor types

A high proportion of pediatric patients with brain tumors (BTs) are known to experience a decline in neurocognitive function after treatment. We prospectively examined neuropsychological functioning of patients with BTs of varying tumor types at different time points before, during, and after proton beam therapy.
